Ingredients You’ll Need
- Russet Potatoes – You can use any type of potatoes for this recipe, but I recommend using russet or Yukon Gold potatoes, as they hold their shape well and have a creamy texture.
- Eggs – A common ingredient in potato salad because they add flavor, texture, and nutrition to the dish.
- Dill – If you don’t have fresh dill on hand, check these great dill substitutes.
- Mayo – It just isn’t potato salad without mayo! I recommend hellman’s mayo, but you can use whatever you have on hand.
- Mustard – Completely optional but adds great flavor!
Top Recipe Tips
- For a tangier potato salad, add more apple cider vinegar or Dijon mustard.

- 1/2 cup dill relish
- 1 tsp celery salt
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 cup mayo
